Egypt's foreign ministry stressed the importance of Klimkin’s visit, the first one between the two countries at this political level since 2010, according to Egypt Today.

“The number of Ukrainian tourists in Egypt was about 800,000 in 2017; this year they will increase to one million tourists,” Klimkin said.
